Iran on Monday said that the US position on Tehran’s nuclear programme “has moved towards a more realistic one," a day ahead of a second round of negotiations between the two countries.
“A cautious assessment is that, from the discussions that have taken place in Muscat to date, at least what we have been told is that the US position on the Iranian nuclear issue has moved towards a more realistic one," said foreign ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei, according to the official IRNA news agency.
The comments come as Iran’s foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi, arrived in Geneva to lead a diplomatic and expert delegation for indirect talks with the US, mediated by Oman.
The negotiations, set for Tuesday, will focus on Tehran’s nuclear programme, though Washington has pushed to include issues such as Iran’s ballistic missiles and regional activities.
